Fun place to look at, still not my favorite place...

by 5StarReview

The servers are all pretty cool, funky tattoos and hair, very hip place down town. Park at Horton Plaza and validate parking there and walk to RA. Interesting rolls... not sure if you really get your moneys worth.

Overrated!! Bad sushi

by Thecarguy2008

This place was so overrated! Everyone in San Diego was saying this is the best place. Not even! I'm from LA and i have had my fair share of awesome sushi but it placed sucked. Our server was the dumbest girl i have ever met. She put our drinks in and forgot to ring in 2 of ours. We were a party of 4. Come on...she then forgot to put in our soup and salads. Every time we needed a refill or something we seriously had to ask 3 times until we got it. The sushi was so gross, the fish and crab was imitation. We also order 4 shots and she forgot those then when she put them in they took forever! The bartender ending up bringing them over and was like "Uh have you been waiting on these?" The drinks were weak, small, warm and not worth the money. Avoid this place.

• Pros: Nothing!!
• Cons: Everything! Bad food, service and drinks

perfect for happy hour

by lenabean82

I first went to RA in Tempe, AZ on Mill Ave and had the best time ever. I was visiting my friend Colleen (she's from NY and I trust her taste implicitly) and she swore by their happy hour. The place was packed (with mostly attractive people, always a plus to have some eye candy), but the service was still excellent (and of course we got sauced). I had a similar experience in SD, as with AZ the happy hour had a few more options than most sushi spots (i mean how many california rolls can one girl eat?) and the service was fantastic. I have found a few more places with better sushi, but for happy hour I totally recommend checking out RA (pinapple wontons are a must, yum!).

• Pros: great happy hour, friendly staff
• Cons: the music can be a bit loud (if you're adverse to that sort of thing)
